ALL NIGHT
HAZLETON City Council
again tabled a proposed rental
property inspection ordinance
at its meeting Wednesday night.
Mayor Joseph Yannuzzi
moved to table the ordinance in
order togive residents andcoun-
cil opportunity for further dia-
logue.
Members of HALO, Hazleton
Area Landlords Organization,
indicated they hoped to meet
with the mayor and council
members to further discuss the
new rules.
HALO says it believes the or-
dinance, if passed, would place
an unfair financial burden on ar-
ea landlords. The organization
says it believes the ordinance
would be difficult to enforce in
regard to absentee landlords,
who, the group alleges, do not
comply with existing ordinanc-
es.
The proposed ordinance di-
rects that landlords pay a one-
time fee of $100for a multifamily
dwelling and a $50 fee for a one-
or two-family dwelling. An an-
nual occupancy licensing fee of
$25 would also be levied on each
owner after an inspection of
each unit.
Landlords who successfully
pass an annual inspection and
pay the inspection fee would be
issuedanoccupancy license that
would have to be displayed in
each rental unit. The license
would also provide the name,
mailing address andphone num-
ber of the owner or manager of
each unit.
The proposed ordinance also
directs landlords topost garbage
pickup and recycling informa-
tion within each unit to encour-
agetenants tomaintaintheunits
in a safe, appropriate manner.
Residents said the ordinance
not only reflectedtheir concerns
regarding rental properties in
the city, but also a need for in-
creasing safety for local resi-
dents in the long term.
Many said they believed the
city has deteriorated over the
last 20 years and it was time to
aggressively address concerns
such as crime and deterioration
of city properties.
Betty Probert, Hazleton
Crime Watch coordinator, said
the group had recently met and
was requestingfull andongoing
support of City Hall, in order to
make an impact on crime and in-
crease the quality of life within
the city.
Yannuzzi said the city was
aware of complaints and would
take action to address them.
A Wyoming Street business
owner also addressed council
about the increasing problem of
prostitution on the street.
Often, when opening my
business at 5 or 6 oclock in the
morning, there are prostitutes
gathered on downtown cor-
ners, she said.
That has to be illegal, she
said, and its not good for the
city, for area youngsters, or for
our husbands.
Resident and landlord George
Yencha also addressed the coun-
cil andaskedthat properties that
have already been condemned
be ripped down. He said that if
the properties were deemed un-
safe, there was no reason to al-
low them to remain standing.
AntonioRodriguez, vice presi-
dent of the city planning com-
mission, reminded council the
planning committee would be
meeting on Monday at 6:30 p.m.
He encouraged citizens to at-
tend in order to offer input and
support.

on rental inspections to allow

City council will next meet on

W H AT S N E X T
HARVEYS LAKE The bor-
ough council is halfway to reac-
hing its long-term goal of limit-
ing the amount of phosphorus
from storm water entering
Pennsylvanias largest natural
lake.
To continue on the path to
success, a new nutrient separa-
tion baffle box will be installed
off Wood Street in September.
The baffle box is specifically de-
signed to filter out sediment
and phosphorus from runoff be-
fore it enters the lake.
In the late 1990s, the borough
sought assistance from Prince-
ton Hydro LLC of Exton, Pa., to
help with creating a healthy eco
system within the lake.
Wood Street is one of 23 stra-
tegic sites Princeton Hydro
identified to efficiently reduce
sediment and phosphorus from
entering the lake.
The baffle boxs purchase
price and cost of installation to-
tals $73,969, which will be cov-
ered through a 319 grant the
borough received in 2008 under
the Clean Water Act, said Fred
Lubnow, director of aquatic pro-
grams at Princeton Hydro.
Lubnow said the long-term
goal is to reduce the 230 pounds
of phosphorus entering the
lake.
We are halfway there, he
said.
He said 1 pound of phospho-
rus has the potential to produce
up to 1,100 pounds of cotton
candy-like algae.
Lubnowsaid the reason baffle
boxes were chosen was due to
their efficiency in removing
phosphorus and sediment and
they are easy for the borough to
maintain.
In other business, council an-
nounced the newly formed
Hearing Board on Gas Drilling
received a draft of changes to
the Zoning Ordinance address-
ing the gas industry from Jack
Varaly of Pasonick Engineering.
Council Chairman Francis
Kopko said the draft includes
items such as buffer zones and
road use to protect citizens
against the gas drilling industry.
The draft was just received
earlier this week, he said. It
should be ready for public re-
view by next month.
Also, council approved a bid
of $8,123 from Auto Wholesal-
ers of Hollidaysburg to purchase
a 1998 GMC dump truck from
the borough.
Other bids received were
from Kenneth Wentzel, $3,000;
Michael D. Veneziano, $4,101;
Bernard Saylor, $2,863; Shae
Adamshick, $3,550; Albert Rus-
so, $2,609; and Gregory Preate,
$2,529.50.
Also, council is seeking resi-
dents with construction or engi-
neering experience to serve on
a Board of Appeals. The board
would hear disputed cases of
residents not accepting the de-
cision of Pasonick Engineering,
the boroughs third-party engi-
neer inspector.
Those interested may contact
the borough office at 639-2113.
Harveys Lake speeds phosphorus plan
The borough will buy a baffle
box to prevent pollutants
from getting into the water.
The next borough council meet-
ing is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Sept. 20, in the municipal build-
ing.

ance with the agreement terms.
The Dallas School District had
retained an attorney in zoning
hearings for another gas compa-
ny, Chief Gathering LLC, for
similar projects, but two school
board members said Wednesday
there are no plans to utilize at-
torney Jack Dean of Elliot,
Greenleaf & Dean to take action
against Williams yet.
It comes down to a hook-up
to the pipeline, and our experts
reviewing it to ensure that it
doesnt pose an imminent
threat, said Dean.
Board President Bruce Goer-
inger said theres not much the
school board can do now except
to monitor the situation careful-
ly to determine whether to get
involved.
Were going to be aware as
members of the school board to
make sure we have a safe school
campus, he said. Thats our re-
sponsibility. Well be cooperating
with the township supervisors.
They have more jurisdiction
than we do.
Board member and head of
the property committee Gary
Mathers said that with state
funds dwindling in the public
school system, it would be diffi-
cult to foresee the need to retain
Dean in future hearings.
I think with funding (as)
tight as it is because changes
from Harrisburg, our hands are
pretty well tied so far as our ex-
penditures are concerned, said
Mathers. Our responsibility is
to educate the children, and Im
not sure we have the funding to
pursue it any further than we al-
ready have.
Resident Diane Dreier, a mem-
ber of the Gas Drilling Aware-
ness Coalition, said she was dis-
appointed in the agreement and
wished officials would have al-
lowed public comment on the
document before its approval.
The pipeline and metering
station issues are the most im-
portant issues I know of in terms
of safety and property values
that have ever confronted resi-
dents and taxpayers in Dallas
Township.
She said the Dallas Parent-Tax-
payers Group met Wednesday
evening to discuss the ramifica-
tions of the decision made by the
township and whether legal re-
course can be taken.
PIPELINE
Continued fromPage 3A
DALLAS Council adopted
two ordinances Wednesday eve-
ning to update the legal language
of borough laws.
Ordinance 8 of 2011 will en-
force a stop sign at the corner of
Elizabeth and Sunset streets that
has beenthere for years. Borough
Manager Tracey Carr said estab-
lishingahigher penaltyfor violat-
ing the ordinance allows the po-
lice department to take appropri-
ate action for offenders.
She said there have not been
many issues related to this inter-
section, but the ordinance will
recognize the stop sign at this
particular intersection.
Ordinance 9 of 2011pertains to
open burning in the borough.
Carr said there has been an open
burning ban for at least six years,
but updatingthe ordinance keeps
the township code current.
The ordinance establishes lim-
its on burning exceptions, in-
cludes provisions for penalties
and enforcement, and repeals
conflicting ordinances.
Council authorized Carr to
complete a local needs question-
naire for residents to address
storm water drainage issues and
pinpoint where street improve-
ments are needed. The borough
will be eligible in 2012 for a hous-
ing andurbandevelopment grant
from Luzerne County Office of
Community Development, and
Carr said storm water issues are
prevalent within the borough.
Council voted to accept the ad-
dition of Lake Township within
the Back Mountain Regional
Emergency Management Agency
and appointed Dennis Barney
Dobinick as assistant regional
emergency management direc-
tor.
The Back Mountain Regional
Emergency Management Agency
currently serves Jackson Town-
ship, Lehman Township and Dal-
las Borough.
Council also approved the ap-
pointment of Barry Isett & Asso-
ciates for plan review and uni-
form construction code enforce-
ment services pending final solic-
itor approval of the fee schedule.
The company will replace the
boroughs current plan review
and code enforcement provider,
Building Inspection Underwrit-
ers, which has served the bor-
ough since 2004.
Carr said council will switch
service providers periodically in
order to better serve its constitu-
ents.
Dallas updates some borough codes
Changes involve stop sign,
and burning rules. Borough
also addresses runoff issue.

EDWARDSVILLE A man
was arraigned Wednesday in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
charges he burglarized a resi-
dence where a former girlfriend
was sleeping and violated a
restraining order when he con-
tacted the woman at her work.
William James Shaw, 27, of
South Grant Street, Wilkes-
Barre, was charged with bur-
glary, theft, criminal trespass
and two counts of violating a
PFA. He was released on
$15,000 unsecured bail.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Edwardsville police allege
Shaw went to a residence on
Beverly Drive where he reached
through a window and shook
his ex-girlfriend at about 5 a.m.
Tuesday. She said he took her
cell phone.
Wilkes-Barre police allege
Shaw called a pizza restaurant
on Carey Avenue on Tuesday
and asked the woman deliver
the order. The call taker recog-
nized Shaws voice and assigned
the delivery to another employ-
ee.
The woman was in the restau-
rant Tuesday night and spotted
Shaw across the street looking
at her, the complaints say.
Shaw was captured in the 600
block of Hazle Avenue.
A preliminary hearing on the
burglary charge is scheduled on
Aug. 24 before District Judge
Paul Roberts in Kingston.
A hearing on the alleged PFA
violations is scheduled on Aug.
23 in county court.

G
eorge C. Arzente Jr., of Hanover
Township, passed away peace-
fully at the VNA Hospice Unit at St.
Lukes Villa on Saturday, August 13,
2011. Born in Corona, N.Y., in 1916,
George was a son of the late George
C. Arzente Sr. and Anna Arzente.
ThefamilymovedfromNewYorkto
the WyomingValleyin1926, eventu-
ally residing in Kingston, where Ge-
orge graduated fromKingston High
School.
George served in the U.S. Army
Air Corps during World War II. He
was assigned to the 15th Air Force
andservedinNorthAfrica. Later, he
served in Italy, where his unit saw
action for two years participating in
five combat campaigns. Most nota-
bly, during his time overseas he
made improvements to the Sperry
gun sight, which was the sighting
system used for the weapons
mounted in the forward gun turret
on the B-17 bomber. Georges mod-
ifications to this weapons system
saved the lives of many B-17 crew-
men. For his work on this project he
was awarded the Legion of Merit.
He received the prestigious medal
at a ceremony in North Africa. It
was presented to him by the Com-
manding General of the 15th Air
Force, Major General Nathan F.
Twining.
Upon returning home from the
war, George joined the family busi-
ness, Chocolate Popcorn Co.,
foundedby his father in1926, where
he worked side-by-side with his sib-
lings for over 50 years until his re-
tirement. He designed and created
all of the machinery usedinthe fam-
ily business and kept it in perfect
running order.
George was one of the founding
members of the Century Club at
Kings College. He was a very out-
going and social man and loved to
engage in conversations of all types.
After talking with George, especial-
ly about politics, you would have no
doubt as to where he stood on the
subject. He was also very creative
and expressed his creativity
through his musical talents by play-
ing the piano and organ. In his 90s,
he taught himself Italian, French,
Spanish and Latin. He loved his
Mac.
The family would like to extend a
most sincere Thank You to Ge-
orges caregivers over the past year.
Their devotion, kindness and com-
passion meant so much to the fam-
ily and kept Georges life full. They
would also like to thank Dr. Joseph
Szustek and Dr. Raymond Joseph
and their staff for the professional-
ism, kindness and compassion they
always showed toward George.
In addition to his parents, he was
preceded in death by his wife, the
former Rosemary Perrella, in 2001;
brothers, Frank, Louis, Raymond
and Gilbert Arzente; sisters, Ange-
line Galante and Anne Sabra; niece
Anne Arzente; and nephew Dr.
James Galante.

ures, about the people who
dont make it through their
program and would be walk-
ing in the neighborhood.
Attorney Charles McCor-
mick, solicitor for the board,
noted the function of the zon-
ing hearing board is not to pro-
vide a judgment of the quality
of use of the building. He said
the board was considering a
change of a non-conforming
use for children to the same
use for adults.
The location is the former
site of BridgeView, an inpa-
tient treatment center for chil-
dren with severe mental
health issues that was operat-
ed by Childrens Service Cen-
ter. It closed earlier this year.
Maj. Charles Deitrick, sec-
ond in command for the Salva-
tion Armys Rehabilitation
Counseling Centers, said the
present building is 99 years
old and in need of repairs. He
said the newlocation provides
increased safety and more up-
to-date facilities. The proper-
ty is fenced, has parking for 53
vehicles and has a camera sur-
veillance system.
The Salvation Army with-
drewits plan to buy the former
Valley Crest property fromLu-
zerne County for $4.7 million
in February after Plains Town-
ship refused to grant a zoning
variance needed to open an
adult rehabilitation center.
Jerry Balara, the facilitys
business administrator, said
much of the preliminary work
for the new building has been
completed including envi-
ronmental, engineering and
architectural studies. He said
the Salvation Army program
is a continuously operated fa-
cility which requires by its na-
ture long-term commitment
of four to 12 months by each
beneficiary or program partic-
ipant.
Balara, Deitrick and Maj.
Kathleen Wadman said the
program helps the participa-
nts to make life choices and
changes that, upon re-entry to
society at large, will enable
them to maintain themselves
as productive citizens. The ap-
plicants must be and remain
drug- and alcohol-free. All par-
ticipants are tested at random
and upon suspicion of any
drug or alcohol use, they said.
Balara said the program is
funded through Salvation Ar-
my Thrift Stores and dona-
tions.

the violation report.
Arrest records indicate in-
vestigators were aware at the
time of the pairs arrest on
Aug. 1 that they were allegedly
responsible for a two-day
crime spree that began with
the carjacking and assault on
Dougherty.
Investigators alleged the
three men used the Chevrolet
to burglarize businesses in the
townships of Hanover, Hun-
lock and Newport within sev-
eral hours on June 26.
State police at Shickshinny
said the car was found torched
in a wooded area near Zachery
Road and state Route 239 in
Huntington Township on June
27.
Banks admitted to investiga-
tors he poured gasoline on the
vehicle before he set it on fire,
according to arrest records.
Like Brannigan and Owens,
court records show Banks had
obstructed police and failed to
appear for a hearing on a pro-
bation violation.
Arrest records say Banks
tried to prevent officers from
apprehending his brother, who
was involved in a disturbance
in the parking lot of Weis Plaza
in Nanticoke in June 2006. He
was sentenced to six months
probation after he pled guilty
to an obstruction charge.
Banks was sentenced in July
2010 for driving under the in-
fluence of marijuana after he
crashed his vehicle on state
Route 239 in Mocanaqua in
November 2009. A probation
violation was filed against
Banks when he failed to pay
fines and meet with a proba-
tion officer.
An arrest warrant was is-
sued for Banks when he failed
to appear for a probation vio-
lation hearing in November.
When he was captured, a coun-
ty judge in May gave him five
months to pay $1,200 in fines.

POLICE BLOTTER
Luzerne County commission-
ers said Wednesday theyre hesi-
tant to dip into the countys
Housing Trust Fund to save a
new mortgage foreclosure pre-
ventionprogram, but theyagreed
to explore options.
The issue came up during the
commissioners work session be-
cause the county court is seeking
$162,940 fromthe trust for a new
foreclosure mediation program
that claims an 80 percent success
rate.
The state and federal govern-
ment cut funding for the foreclo-
sure program, jeopardizing its
continuation. Roughly $128,000
is neededfor foreclosure counsel-
ing, and the rest would cover fi-
nancial assistance of up to $2,000
per homeowner.
The trust fund was set up in
2002, using a fee on mortgage
and deed recordings for the
Growing Homeowners Initiative.
The initiative provides a matchof
up to $7,500 toward down pay-
ments and/or closing costs for
people who participate in coun-
seling and meet income guide-
lines and other conditions.
Commissioners agreed to pay
the Housing Development Cor-
poration $73,656 from the trust
this year to counsel new home
buyers. Only nine homes were
purchased through the program
so far this year, officials said.
Commissioners want toseeif this
corporation could also provide
foreclosure counseling at no ad-
ditional expense.Commissioners
also want to research if funding is
available fromother government-
funded homeless prevention pro-
grams administered by the Com-
missiononEconomic Opportuni-
ty, which is one of the entities
paid to provide counseling in the
foreclosure program.
In other business Wednesday,
county Budget/Finance Chief
Joan Pusateri presented an over-
due second-quarter budget re-
port and said county finances are
in fairly good shape.
County spending was
$393,000over budget projections
as of June 30, while receipts were
$3.4 million higher than expect-
ed during the same period.
Budget overruns in several ar-
eas were discussed during the
work session. County Controller
Walter Griffith presented almost
$524,000 in pending payments
that exceed budgeted amounts.
For example, property tax re-
funds for assessment mediations
stemming from the countywide
reassessment are about $22,000
over budget, not including
$101,683 in refunds on 25 proper-
ties that will be approved next
week, Griffith said.
Griffith also requested an in-
vestigation of bids for fire extin-
guisher maintenance, saying the
company that submitted the low-
est bid was listed at the wrong
amount, which means another
company is slated to receive the
award.
Commissioners asked county
Purchasing Director Frank Pu-
gliese to review the records be-
fore Tuesdays meeting.

Commissioners also plan to vote
Tuesday to:
Use community development
funding to clean up a parcel at 51
E. Main St., Newport Township.
The property is in limbo because it
did not sell at back-tax sales, said
county Community Development
Director Andrew Reilly. The previ-
ous owner demolished a structure
on the property but left rubble
and other debris, he said.
Lease eight parking spaces for
the county community devel-
opment office at the Irem Temple
parking lot on River Street for
$259 per month, with the rent to
be paid to the Greater Wilkes-
Barre Development Corp., an arm
of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Cham-
ber of Business and Industry.
County Controller Walter Griffith
said commissioners should deduct
the rent from outstanding loans
owed by the chamber. Commis-
sioners had granted the chamber
an extension to repay $4.7 million
in loans until the economy im-
proves.
Pay $295.71 to a county deputy
sheriff who moved a door and
removed a wall to expand the
evidence room in the sheriffs
office. Griffith had refused pay-
ment, saying the expenditure was
not properly authorized in ad-
vance. If commissioners approve
the expense, Griffith said he will
consult with his solicitor before
deciding if he will issue the pay-
ment.

PITTSTON TWP. Township
supervisor Vice Chairman Ron
Marcellini made a motion Mon-
day night to eliminate the part-
time civilian clerk and hire an-
other police officer because two
officers have been off work for
health reasons, but the motion
failed.
The two full-time police offi-
cers are currently on sick leave
but will eventually return to
work when they are cleared by
their doctors, Supervisor Steve
Rinaldi said.
Supervisors appointed Stefa-
nie Aversa as a part-time officer,
pending approval of her creden-
tials by the state Municipal Po-
lice Officers Education & Train-
ing Commission, which sets
certification and training stan-
dards for police officers in Penn-
sylvania.
Rinaldi told residents con-
cerned about police coverage
that there are two full-time offi-
cers, plus seven part-time offi-
cers who are covering the town-
ship full-time.
In other business, Solicitor
John P. Finnerty said he was
trying to get Pittston to waive
sewer bills the city sent to
township residents on Mill
Street and Center Street. Rinal-
di said he would like to see the
bills waived by the city, but Fin-
nerty said the city was not will-
ing to waive any fees at this
time.
Rinaldi said the $170-a-year
bills affect 10 families. He wants
to do the math on the entire
issue and determine what the
exact cost should be for all con-
cerned.
In other matters, the town-
ships volunteer fire department
wants the supervisors to adopt
an ordinance that allows the de-
partment to bill insurance com-
panies for cleaning up accident
scenes, because the department
uses its own resources. Fire offi-
cials said that is costly and
time-consuming. Supervisors
said the ordinance is pending
further study.
The supervisors also want to
help residents of Oak Street,
where 53-foot tractor-trailers are
creating a lot of disturbing
noise for the residents, accord-
ing to supervisors.
They said the process for
stopping the rigs and citing the
drivers is too costly at this
time. The supervisors are wait-
ing on a meeting with Penn-
DOT and state Sen. John Yud-
ichaks office to help solve the
issue.
Rinaldi also told residents
that plans for paving Bryden
Lane, Lewis Street and Law
Street are in the planning stage
and he is working on possibly
paving Butler Heights as well.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. A
Nebraska jail has adopted two
cats from a local animal shelter,
and the sheriff says theyre help-
ing to lower tensions.
Sheriff Jerome Kramer in Lin-
coln County decided to have his
jail adopt Nemo and Sarge froma
local animal shelter after inmates
began volunteering there.
Jerome told North Platte tele-
vision station KNOP he thought
the animals would help the in-
mates be less destructive. He
said studies show pets can help
relieve stress.
Jail officials put Nemo in the
work-release cell block. Sarge
moved to the minimum-security
area.
The cats have beena hit. Kram-

Corbetts kayaking trip through the
Northeast is a classic example of an edi-
torial writer caving to pre-existing presum-
ptions regardless of facts.
The governor has been an avid kayaker
in the past, and his appreciation of the
outdoors is very real as is his commit-
ment to protecting our water, air and soil.
As attorney general, Tom Corbett
brought the single, largest criminal case
against a polluter. As governor, he landed
the single, biggest fine more than $1
million against a Marcellus Shale natural
gas driller for environmental violations.
The fish, waterways, birds and hunting
grounds that the editorial suggests are
somehow in peril are, in truth, under the
stewardship of a man who loves Pennsylva-
nia and understands that the endeavors of
humans must exist as a complement to the
creation of nature.
In more than one forum face-to-face,
with industry executives he has said
bluntly that he will not allow them to
pollute, and his follow-up has shown as
much; he knows the laws and how to en-
force them. Keep in mind that most of the
wells and pads in your region were drilled
under a previous administration. It fell to
Gov. Corbett to assemble an advisory pan-
el to examine this new industry. Of 96
recommendations, 43 were specifically on
public health and safety, another subject
the governor knows well.
Regarding the governors stance that an
extraction tax on the natural gas industry
that goes to the states General Fund isnt
necessary, there youre right on target. Its
worth repeating that an extraction tax
would be an added tax applied to an indus-
try that already pays the same state taxes
other businesses pay. But taxes dont cre-
ate safety. An appropriate level of funding
strategically dedicated locally, along with
stringent enforcement of environmental
laws does that, and Gov. Corbett is seeing
to it those regulations are enforced with-
out favor.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 PAGE 11A
WRITING IN this space on
Aug. 3, U.S. Sen. Pat Too-
mey presented readers with
a retread of the false choice
between protecting our
health and the environment
and growing our economy.
Like Sen. Toomey, I, too, have traveled
across Pennsylvania, most recently with
Environmental Protection Agency Adminis-
trator Lisa Jackson to Lancaster, where we
toured a dairy farm and held a roundtable
discussion with local farmers and leaders.
Contrary to what EPA critics would have
Pennsylvanians believe, EPA is working
closely with rural communities to protect
air and water and the health of their resi-
dents.
That visit also gave us the chance to ad-
dress common myths, like the one about
spilled milk regulations. The notion that
EPA intends to treat spilled milk the same
way it treats spilled oil is just plain wrong.
In fact, it was EPAs work with the dairy
industry that prompted the agency to call
for an exemption for milk and dairy contain-
ers from the agencys program that address-
es the prevention of oil spills in quantities
that might be harmful. Earlier this year, we
finalized that exemption.
Another myth is the false claim that EPA
is expanding regulation of dust, or coarse
particulate matter, from farms. The agency
has made no decision to do so. The Clean
Air Act requires regular reviews of science
on various pollutants, including coarse par-
ticulate matter. An independent panel is
assessing that science and EPA is meeting
with farmers and ranchers about their con-
cerns.
Sen. Toomey also seemed to wonder why
EPA has proposed new standards to cut
pollution from cement kilns. The answer is
that Portland cement manufacturing is the
third-largest source of mercury air emissions
in the United States. Mercury is a neurotox-
in that can severely affect childhood devel-
opment.
EPAs new standards for cement kilns will
cut kiln mercury pollution by 92 percent.
They also will reduce particulate matter a
leading cause of asthma and premature
deaths by 92 percent. The residents of the
Lehigh Valley, where Sen. Toomey notes
seven cement kilns are located, should be
pleased to know that their health and their
childrens health is being protected by EPA.
Nationwide, the health benefits are estimat-
ed to reach as high as $18 billion annually,
and prevent up to 2,500 premature deaths in
people with heart disease. Other serious
health effects such as asthma and heart
attacks will be avoided as well.
Pennsylvania is also one of the biggest
beneficiaries of the recently finalized Cross
State Air Pollution rule, which will protect
Pennsylvania residents from air pollution
emitted by facilities in upwind states. The
rule will improve air quality in Pennsylva-
nia, providing the state with important
public health benefits, including up to 2,900
fewer premature deaths each year. The
states total health benefits as a result of the
final rule will be between $9.7 billion and
$24 billion each year.
In these challenging economic times,
Pennsylvania residents have a right to know
that we can put these protections in place at
the same time we grow the economy. Ac-
cording to the U.S. Commerce Department,
alleged job-killing environmental regu-
lations have sparked a homegrown envi-
ronmental protection industry that employs
more than 1.5 million Americans. EPA stan-
dards have cut pollution even while the
number of American cars, buildings and
power plants has increased.
Hard-won environmental advances, sup-
ported by both sides of the aisle, have made
it so that many more Americans in commu-
nities across the country, including in Penn-
sylvania, are today breathing easier, relying
on safer drinking water and living in health-
ier neighborhoods than decades ago.
A strong economy is fueled by a strong
and healthy work force, and built in clean,
healthy communities. The EPA is commit-
ted to working with the people of Pennsylva-
nia and elsewhere to find solutions that
strengthen their communities and their
economy while protecting their health and
environment. With bipartisan cooperation
we can do both just as we have done for
the last 40 years.
Shawn M. Garvin is the regional administrator of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Mid-
Atlantic Region, based in Philadelphia.
EPA says it can protect residents and still grow economy
COMMENTARY

T
HE PENNSYLVANIA
Supreme Court has
been in existence
since 1684, but
theres nothing archaic about
its latest decision: It will allow
gavel-to-gavel coverage of oral
arguments to be televised on
the Pennsylvania Cable Net-
work. Any subscriber to the
network, which serves more
than 3.3 million homes, will
be able to watch the proceed-
ings as if in the public gallery.
This is more progressive
than the U.S. Supreme Court,
and it is to the credit of Chief
Justice Ronald D. Castille and
his fellow justices. Their wil-
lingness to allow cameras
should make for better in-
formed citizens, allowing or-
dinary Pennsylvanians to see
the arguments that led to judi-
cial decisions.
This isnt a radical move but
a logical progression. In an-
nouncing the agreement with
PCN Monday, Justice Castille
noted that successful pilot
programs have been operat-
ing in Superior Court for 12
years and in Commonwealth
Court (for four).
The rules for taping require
that proceedings be recorded
for future broadcasting in
their entirety. Not all session
days will be broadcast PCN
can decide which to request
and the Supreme Court has
the right to limit or terminate
coverage to protect the par-
ties rights or to ensure the or-
derly conduct of the proceed-
ings. Having had a test run
that was not shown on TV, the
court is likely to have its first
taped session on Sept. 13. It
wont cost taxpayers any-
thing.
An old legal aphorism says:
Not only must justice be
done; it must also be seen to
be done. With this change, it
will soon be more easily seen.

P
RESIDENT BARACK
Obama has sought to
reset relations with
Russia, with the Mus-
lim world, with big business.
What the president needs to
do nowis reset his relationship
with the American people.
Our economy is indeeptrou-
ble. The lack of confidence, re-
flected in polls and the stock
market, starts from the very
top.
Obama is not doing what it
takes to restore belief in Amer-
icas future. He has been too
timid, too defensive. He needs
to get tougher and fight for the
middle class he talks about all
the time.
Its goodthat we have a presi-
dent who carefully weighs de-
cisions and doesnt fly off the
handle. But sometimes hes too
calm, cool and collected for his
own good. Americans dont re-
quire more professorial lec-
tures right now; they need to
seesomeonewhogets howbad
things are andis angryabout it.
In short, he has to recapture
the passion of candidate Oba-
ma the one whowonsuchfer-
vent support with his soaring
oratory and his vision of a bet-
ter America. There have been
sparks of that passion and vi-
sion in some of his speeches on
the economy, including an un-
usually fiery one last week at a
hybrid car battery plant in Mi-
chigan. But not enough, and
not in a sus-
tained, con-
vincing way.
He should
clearly lay
out a big jobs
plan, one
much more
substantial
than the payroll tax cut, unem-
ployment benefits extension
andinfrastructure project bank
that he has long advocated. He
must make a stronger case that
some higher spending and
shared sacrifice now yes, in-
cluding higher taxes on the
wealthy and corporations is
necessary for longer-term eco-
nomic growth.
He needs to convince Amer-
icans that its not just about re-
ducing the unemployment rate
or shoringupthestockmarket.
Its about reversing the widen-
ing gap between rich and poor,
making the country more com-
petitive in the fast-changing
global economy and laying the
foundation for prosperity that
lifts everyone. At stake is what
kind of America we want.
We need to know that we
have someone in the White
House who truly understands
the hardships many Americans
are enduring, and who wont
rest in trying to aid them. Oba-
ma can still be that leader, but
time is running out.

and said the current tenant
R/C Movies 14 will remain as

2026.
The theaters have been very
successful and the operator will
remain, Bellis said. My client
feels its time to liquidate and
move onto other ventures. My
client is a development company
and no longer interested in hold-
ing onto the property.
More than 500,000 people
have patronized the theaters
each year since they opened in
2006.

his monthly income was $3,871
with $2,454 of that coming from
Social Security. He also stated
that at the time he filed for bank-
ruptcy he was unemployed.
Geary was accused of misap-

April, the California Department
of Real Estate, citingfinancial im-
proprieties, issued an order pro-
hibiting Geary and Carlsberg Re-
alty (Maryland) Inc. from doing
work that requires a real estate
broker license.
There have been no similar al-
legations regarding University
Corners. In the bankruptcy fil-
ing, Geary listed $293,000 owed
to the chamber.
Geary has not responded to
past requests for comment. A

st amount of leased commercial

more than 77,000 square feet,
nearly 80 percent of the leasable

The animal cruelty counts
were leveled as third-degree
misdemeanors, which carry a
maximum sentence of a year
imprisonment.
Prior offenses
The charges were misde-
meanors rather than summary
charges because this incident
wasnt the first time Kulpon
faced charges related to ani-
mals.
In 2006, Kulpon faced animal
nuisance charges and was or-
dered by District Judge Joseph
Zola to turn over more than 50
cats from the same home.
In 2007, she was found guilty
of animal cruelty charges filed
by Kline Township police in
Schuylkill County.
A day or two before the 60
cats were confiscated, Moran
said Kulpon turned over about
20 cats she had been keeping in
a hotel room in Sugarloaf Town-
ship.
In addition to the animal cru-
elty charges, Kulpon also was
cited with city health code vio-
lations by Hazleton Health Offi-
cer Mark Thompson. She was
cited with failure to provide
proof of rabies vaccinations, fail-
ure to register pets, declaration
of nuisance and failure to main-
tain the interior of a structure.
The goal of the SPCA, Moran
said, is to have a judge forbid
Kulpon from keeping any cats
for a good period of time.
At one time, Pennsylvania
courts found it unconstitutional
to restrict animal ownership,
but state law now allows restric-
tions because the courts real-
ized that such animal cruelty
problems were putting financial
burdens on shelters and munici-
palities, Moran said.
Moran said Kulpon should be
held accountable for her alleged
actions, but she also hopes that
there will be some psycholog-
ical or social assistance availa-
ble to her.
Recurring theme
Gray, the psychologist, said
Kulpons alleged repeated be-
havior sounds typical of a hoard-
ing-related disorder.
If this is a recurring theme
with her, its going to get pro-
gressively worse, she said.
Gray said most hoarders are
looking for control at a time in
their lives when there is a loss
of control. In their minds, they
think theyre rescuing these ani-
mals and doing a good thing.
But its a distorted perception, a
distorted thinking framework
that goes along with it. They
cant pay attention to the phys-
ical and health needs of all
those animals.
The Times Leader first re-
ported on Kulpon in 2002, when
she announced plans to open a
no-kill shelter in the Hazleton
area. A former Hazleton Animal
Shelter volunteer, Kulpon had
said then she wanted to offer an
alternative to euthanasia for un-
wanted animals.
She began a local chapter of 4
Paws Spay and Neuter Program
in 2005, but the no-kill shelter
never materialized.

SCRANTON Attorney Rob-
ert Powell is seeking to overturn
a default judgment entered
against one of his businesses that
remains as a defendant in the
kids for cash lawsuits filed in
federal court.
Attorneys for the juvenile
plaintiffs filed a motion last week
seeking judgment against Po-
wells company, Vision Holdings
LLC, after the corporation failed
to secure an attorney to repre-
sent it in the case.
Powell and Vision Holdings
are among the defendants that
remain in a class-action lawsuit
filed by juveniles who allege they
were wrongly incarcerated by
former Judge Mark Ciavarella as
part of a scheme to increase oc-
cupancy at the PA and Western
PA Child Care juvenile detention
centers that were once co-owned
by Powell.
Federal prosecutors allege Vi-
sion Holdings was one of several
companies that were utilized by
Ciavarella and his one-time co-
defendant, former Judge Mi-
chael Conahan, to disguise the
source of kickbacks Powell paid
them.
Under federal law, a corpora-
tion must be represented by legal
counsel in a civil case. Failure to
secure counsel can be a basis for
the plaintiff to seek judgment
against the corpora-
tion.
Vision Holdings
had been represent-
ed attorney Mark
Sheppard, but he
and other attor-
neys with his
firm withdrew
fromthe case in
June based on
Powells inabili-
ty to pay them.
The court
gave Powell 30
days to find
new counsel, but he failed to do
so. That prompted the federal
clerk of courts to enter a judg-
ment against Vision Holdings on
Aug. 10. The judgment means
the corporation would be pre-
cluded from offering any defense
to the case.
Jane Sebelin, an attorney for
Powell, filed a motion Tuesday
seeking to set aside the judg-
ment. Sebelin says Powell had
worked diligently to find new
counsel to represent him, but
was hampered by the notoriety
of the case and publicity regard-
ing his financial troubles.
Sebelin noted she has now
been retained to represent Vision
Holdings in the litigation. She
asks a judge to set aside the judg-
ment, arguing that no harm will
be done to the plaintiffs given
the short period of time that Vi-
sion Holding was without repre-
sentation.
The motion will be reviewed
by U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo, who will issue a ruling
at a later date.

court process, which would en-
title them to receive $125 per
hour, the current federal rate for
court-appointed attorneys.
Under federal and state law,
defendants declared to be indi-
gent are entitled to have a tax-
payer-funded attorney appointed
to represent them.
In a previous interview, Ruzzo
said any appointment would cov-
er legal work only for the appeals
process. It would not be retroac-
tive to compensate the attorneys
for work they performed prior to
or during Ciavarellas trial.
The request to be court ap-
pointed, as well as to declare Cia-
varella indigent, will be investi-
gated by court officials. The final
decision will be up to U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Edwin Kosik, who
presided over the trial.
Ruzzo and Flora are each cur-
rently employed by the Luzerne
County Public Defenders Office.
Their compensation for those
positions does not cover legal
work they perform in federal
court.
Both men took a leave of ab-
sence, without pay, from the
Public Defenders Office during
Ciavarellas trial.

also present a specific planto cut
the staggering national debt and
to pay for the cost of his new
short-term economic ideas. His
version will challenge the new
supercommittee of Congress
to go beyond its goal of $1.5 tril-
lion in deficit reduction.
Confirming the deficit-reduc-
tion part of his plan directly,
Obama told a rural town hall
crowd in Illinois on Wednesday:
I dont think its good enough
for us to just do it part way. If
were going to do it, lets go
ahead and fix it.
Obamas major economic
speech will come right after the
Sept. 5 Labor Day holiday. Re-
publicans were underwhelmed.
Brendan Buck, a spokesman
for House Speaker John Boehn-
er, said via Twitter that Obama
could scrap the speech and just
handover a detailedplanto Con-
gress. Seriously, just drop it in
the mail. Podium not required,
Bucks tweet said.
Obama has been previewing
his line of attack for the upcom-
ing presidential election.
My attitude is, get it done,
he said in one Iowa town hall on
Monday. And if they (lawmak-
ers) dont get it done, then well
be running against a Congress
thats not doing anything for the
American people, and the choice
will beverystarkandwill bevery
clear.
In Illinois on Wednesday, Oba-
ma is likely to touch on his eco-
nomic plans during the final leg
of a campaign-themed Midwest
bus tour.
Republican White House con-
tender Mitt Romney, campaign-
ing in New Hampshire, needled
Obama for showing up with too
little and too late on the econo-
my.
But we appreciate the fact
that hes going to devote some
time to it, Romney said. Not
just going to be on the bus tour,
not just going to be vacationing
in Marthas Vineyard, but giving
some thought to the American
people.
Meanwhile, Boehner and
House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor prodded Obama to work
with them. In an opinion piece
published in USAToday, they fo-
cused on cutting taxes, easing
regulations and finding new en-
ergy sources, and said GOP jobs
bills now languish in the Demo-
cratic-led Senate.
White House communica-
tions director Dan Pfeiffer con-
firmed Obama would release a
package of economic initiatives
and push Congress to act on
them in early September.
The official who disclosed de-
tails on Obamas jobs and deficit
plans spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because Obama has not
yet disclosedthem. Nofinal deci-
sions on the economic package
have been made.
Seeking re-election in a dispir-
iting economic time for the na-
tion, Obamas rollout planallows
him to come into September
swinging after one of the rough-
est periods of his presidency.
The unemployment rate is at
9.1 percent. No president in re-
cent history has been re-elected
with a jobless rate nearly that
high.
Obamas economic team has
been hashing out the new pack-
agesinceheandCongress struck
a last-minute debt deal in late Ju-
ly to prevent a debilitating gov-
ernment default.
As president, Obama is under
unparalleled pressure to start
showing more economic pro-
gress. His own job is expected to
depend on it.
Nearly 14 million people are
unemployed.
The administration official
would not offer details about the
tax cuts Obama is likely to pro-
pose for the middle class.
They are expected to be sepa-
rate from the extension of the
payroll tax cut for employees
that Obama has lobbied for by
the day. Obama also has promot-
ed a familiar list of other ideas,
including patent reform and
three major trade deals. And he
has pushed for longer benefits
for the chronically unemployed.

HARRISBURG Two former
aides to one-time state House
Speaker John Perzel on Wednes-
day entered the first Republican
guilty pleas in a legislative cor-
ruptioncase that revolves around
the alleged illegal diversion of
millions of taxpayer dollars into
political campaigns.
At a hearing in Dauphin Coun-
ty court, Samuel Stokes, Perzels
brother-in-law, pleaded guilty to
one count each of conspiracy and
conflict of interest. Former Per-
zel campaign aide Don McClin-
tock pleaded guilty to a single
count of conspiracy.
Under agreements with the at-
torney generals office, both men
are required to cooperate with
prosecutors in the consolidated
trial of the other Republican de-
fendants that is scheduled to
start Sept. 12.
Paul Towhey, one of two for-
mer Perzel chiefs of staff charged
in the case, is scheduled to enter
a guilty plea Friday.
Barring any additional plea
deals, that leaves six defendants
to stand trial together, including
Perzel, a Philadelphia resident,
and another former high-ranking
state representative, Brett Feese
of Lycoming County.
A10th GOP defendant, former
Perzel aide John Zimmerman, is
charged with hindering appre-
hension, obstruction and con-
spiracy. His case is being prose-
cuted separately.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. With in-
vestigators five months into checking
allegations that a Ponzi scheme artist
spent freely on University of Miami
athletes, the NCAA president said
Wednesday that if the claims are con-
firmed they showthe need for funda-
mental change in college sports.
Former Hurricanes booster Nevin
Shapiro, nowserving20years infeder-
al prison, claims he
provided players
with cash, prosti-
tutes, cars and other
gifts from 2002 to
2010. Shapiro told
YahooSports that 72
football players and
other athletes at
Miami received im-
proper benefits from
him in the past dec-
ade.
If the assertions
are true, the alleged
conduct at the Uni-
versity of Miami is
an illustration of the
need for serious and
fundamental change
in many critical as-
pects of college
sports, NCAApresi-
dent Mark Emmert
said in a statement.
The Hurricanes
entire football team
practiced Wednes-
day, even though
Shapiros claims in-
volveseveral current
players. Coach Al
Golden said it was
too soon to take dis-
ciplinary action. His
teamopens the season Sept. 5 against
Maryland.
Last week, Emmert led a group of
university presidents in drafting an
outline for change in college sports.
The group included Miami president
Donna Shalala.
The serious threats to the integrity
of college sports are one of the key rea-
sons why I called together more than
50 presidents and chancellors last
week to drive substantive changes to
Division I intercollegiate athletics,
Emmert said in his statement.

eral consensus at the inaugural Valleys
Fastest Mancompetition.
A 1-mile sprint can be harder than a
32.6-mile triathlon.
Just three days after first-place finish-
esat the30theditionof theWilkes-Barre
Triathlon, Shavertown residents Kelly
Ciravolo and Sean Robbins laced their
runningshoesfortheNEPACrossfitKir-
by Park Mile inWilkes-Barre. The event
was thefirst of threelegs inthecompeti-
tion.
Exhausted, both triathlon winners
fared well in the mile run. Robbins led
the masters field, and Ciravolo placed
secondinthe womens race.
I thought it was fun, but Im dying,
jokedCiravolo. Honestly, this stuff is so
much more intimidating. Its a good
change of pace from my normal work-
outs, but Imtired.
Claudia Camargo, of Hopewell Junc-
tion, N.Y., passed Ciravolo with one-
eighth of a mile left and jetted to the fin-
ish line for a 5:17 finish. Camargo repre-
sented the Argentina track and field
team as a marathon runner in the 2008
Summer Olympics inBeijing.
Camargo saidshe testedthe competi-
tion on the first lap and knewshe could
holdit infor a sprint onthe final lap.
Its only four laps, said Camargo,
who said she will compete in the other
legs of the Valleys Fastest Man. When
we passed the first lap at 1:20, I tried to
keep up my energy for the last lap.
Aftercycling35milestoget totheKir-
byParkraceaspart of hertriathlontrain-
ing, Ciravolo could not catch up to the
dashing Argentinean.
With an eighth of a mile left, she
passed me, Ciravolo said. As soon as
she did, I knew I didnt have nearly
enoughgas to catchup to her.

F
lashbulbs popped all around a
packed PNC Field each time
Alex Rodriguez stepped to the
plate, as if somebody turned a minor
league baseball game into the opening
kickoff of a Super Bowl.
One of baseballs biggest superstars
showing up can instantly kick on the
electricity in what has become a pretty
dim place.
Even if his star appeared to be fading
fast.
A-Rod didnt wow anyone with hero-
ics during the two rehabilitation games
he played for the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees. There were times over
the past two days he was booed like a
villain for his poor performance in the
field.
At least his swing seemed strong,
scorching singles into the right-field
corner during his first at-bat Tuesday
and then again on his last one Wednes-
day to pick up an RBI.
Offensively is where I feel most
comfortable, A-Rod said.
His defense should make everyone
uncomfortable.
After flubbing a pair of foul pops
Tuesday, Rodriguez made playing third
base seem more like a bullfight, which
should make the parent New York
Yankees wonder just how ready he is to
test that torn meniscus in the big
leagues.
A-Rod let a hard hopper by Hazleton
native Russ Canzler skip off his glove
for Durhams second run Wednesday,
then failed to get his glove down in
time to stop a base hit by Brandon
Guyer.
Ole!
Rodriguez later waved his glove at a
throw that got past him at third base.
Being out for three weeks, the body
gets a little slow, a little tentative,
Rodriguez said after his first Triple-A
rehab game.
But fans werent shy about showing
up to watch him.
Its very exciting to have someone of
this caliber playing with the Triple-A
team, said Terri Winowich of Clarks
Summit, who brought her niece Tori
Romanosky and her friend Jillian Do-
ran along Wednesday to share in the
moment, just for the experience of
having a full stadium.
The building was overflowing, at
least for a couple of days.
The PNC parking lots were full by
game time both days, forcing fans to
park on both sides of Montage Moun-
tain Road starting from near the exit
ramp from Interstate 81 and extending
up toward Toyota Pavilion.
I parked way down there the night
(Roger) Clemens was here, Art Berton
of Bear Creek said of his experience
with a similarly-filled stadium in 2007
before comparing the crowds. Theyre
the same, I think. Anytime a Yankee
plays up here on rehab I come up.
Attendance is way down at PNC
Field, leaving Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
next-to-last in the International League
with an average of 4,398 paying fans
per night.
All it takes is star power to fill er up.
Its absolutely exciting, said SWB
Yankees president Kristen Rose, de-
lighted when crowds swelled over
9,000 Tuesday and then 10,000 for
A-Rods second showing.
Its been a happy couple of nights,
Rose continued. Its fun because there
are a lot of people coming from a lot of
different places. For some, it may be
their first time here, or some havent
come in long time.
Hopefully theyll come and see us
again.
It was easy to see the boost A-Rod
brought to New Yorks top farm team.
Even as he failed to raise hopes his
game may be all the way back.

PHILADELPHIA Cliff
Lee threw seven impressive
innings, Wilson Valdez hit a
tiebreaking two-run double in
the seventh, and the Philadel-
phia Phillies beat Arizona 9-2
Wednesday night to snap the
Diamondbacks seven-game
winning streak.
Lee (13-7) allowed two runs
and three hits, striking out
seven. The All-Star lefty has
won four straight starts.
Lees 18-inning scoreless
streak ended when Paul
Goldschmidt hit a two-run
homer for the NL West lead-
ers.
Astros 4, Cubs 3
HOUSTON Matt Downs
hit a go-ahead two-run single,
Mark Melancon wriggled out
of a jam in the ninth inning
and the Houston Astros beat
the Chicago Cubs to take the
series between the worst
teams in NL Central.
Rockies 12, Marlins 5
DENVER Aaron Cook
pitched effectively into the
eighth inning and Carlos
Gonzalez three-run homer
highlighted a powerful offen-
sive display that sent the
Colorado Rockies to a 12-5
victory over the Florida Mar-
lins on Wednesday night.
Mets 7, Padres 3
SAN DIEGO David
Wright hit a three-run homer
and Angel Pagan had three
RBIs as the New York Mets
won their first series in San
Diego in more than nine
years with a win over the
Padres.
Cardinals 7, Pirates 2
PITTSBURGH Allen
Craig homered twice to break
out of a slump and lead the
St. Louis Cardinals to a victo-
ry over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Brewers 3, Dodgers 1
MILWAUKEE Zack
Greinke won his fifth straight
start and Jerry Hairston sin-
gled in two runs to lift the
surging Milwaukee Brewers to
a victory over the Los An-
geles Dodgers for their 19th
victory in 21 games.
Giants 7, Braves 5
ATLANTA Matt Cain
snapped his three-game losing
streak with five-hit ball over
eight innings, and the San
Francisco Giants barely avoid-
ed another loss to Atlanta in
the final at-bat, holding on for
a victory over the Braves.
Reds 2, Nationals 1
WASHINGTON Johnny
Cueto pitched into the ninth
inning and Joey Votto home-
red to lead the Cincinnati

pitcher Cliff Lee unleashes a
pitch during the first inning
against the Arizona Diamond-
backs Wednesday in Philadel-
phia.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alex
Gordon hit a three-run home
run, Billy Butler added a con-
tested solo shot and the Kan-
sas City Royals survived a
harrowing ninth inning to beat
the New York Yankees 5-4
Wednesday night and avoid a
three-game sweep.
The Yankees loaded the
bases with one out in the ninth
and made it 5-4 on Robinson
Canos sacrifice fly. After a
passed ball, Joakim Soria re-
loaded the bases by walking
Nick Swisher. Then Jorge Posa-
da, on his 40th birthday, took a
called third strike to end it.
The wobbly Soria got his 22nd
save in 29 opportunities.
Bruce Chen (8-5) went six
innings and beat the Yankees
for just the second time in
seven career decisions.
Rays 4, Red Sox 0
BOSTON David Price
pitched eight crisp innings, B.J.
Upton and Evan Longoria
homered and the Tampa Bay
Rays held the Boston Red Sox
to three hits for the third
straight game in a win.
Price (11-10) struck out six
and walked three before Kyle
Farnsworth worked a perfect
ninth.
The combined shutout fol-
lowed a day-night doublehead-
er in which James Shields and
Jeff Niemann each pitched a
complete game. Boston beat
Shields in the opener 3-1 but
Niemann struck out 10 in a 6-2
win in the nightcap.
Athletics 6, Orioles 5
OAKLAND, Calif. Kurt
Suzuki hit two solo homers
and right fielder David DeJe-
sus cut down pinch-runner
Blake Davis at the plate to end
the game, preserving Oaklands
victory.
It was the second career
multihomer game for Suzuki,
who connected in the second
and sixth against Alfredo Si-
mon (3-6). Brandon Allen
tripled and scored on the same
play and also had a sacrifice fly
for the As, who snapped a
four-game losing streak Tues-
day night and followed that up
with another victory for a
winning series.
Indians 4,
White Sox 1
CHICAGO Fausto Carmo-
na allowed four hits over 8 1-3
innings and the Cleveland
Indians beat the Chicago
White Sox.
The win kept Chicago from
passing the Indians and mov-
ing into second place in the AL
Central.
White Sox starter Mark
Buehrle (10-6) allowed a sea-
son-high 12 hits and had his
streak of consecutive starts
allowing three runs or less
snapped at 18 games. Buehrle
allowed four runs in 7 1-3 in-
nings.
Twins 6,
Tigers 5
DETROIT Justin Mor-
neaus bases-loaded single in
the ninth inning gave the Min-
nesota Twins a victory over the
first-place Detroit Tigers.
With the game tied at 4,
Rene Tosoni led off the top of
the ninth with a single off Jose
Valverde (2-4). Tsuyoshi Nish-
ioka and Ben Revere both
reached when the Tigers mis-
played sacrifice bunts.

S P O R T S
In the past 18 months, the foot-
ball teams at Southern Califor-
nia, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon,
Michigan, North Carolina, Geor-
gia Tech and LSUeach have been
investigated or sanctioned by the
NCAA.
Shalala said she was upset, dis-
heartened and saddened by Sha-
piros allegations.
We will vigorously pursue the
truth, wherever that path may
lead, and I have insisted upon
complete, honest and transpar-
ent cooperation with the NCAA
fromour staff andstudents, Sha-
lala said in a statement.
Most cases are resolved in six
to seven months, but more com-
plex investigations take longer,
an NCAA official said.
Shapiro was sentenced to pris-
on in June for masterminding a
$930 million Ponzi scheme, plus
ordered to pay more than $82
million in restitution to inves-
tors. He gave 100 hours of jail-
house interviews to Yahoo
Sports, the website reported.
NCAA investigators were on
the Miami campus this week and
have interviewed Shalala and
Shawn Eichorst, who was hired
as athletic director in April to re-
place Kirby Hocutt. Golden, who
is in his first year as Miamis
coach after Randy Shannon was
fired, said hes eager to obtain an-
swers quickly, in part so his play-
ers dont repeat past mistakes.
If they were exposed to Mr.
Shapiro, clearly we have to make
sure we prevent that going for-
ward, Golden said. How did
this guy, if he did, get around our
players like that? ... We want to
make sure it never happens
again. It shouldnt happen.
Yahoo Sports published its sto-
ry Tuesday, saying in addition to
the Shapiro interviews conduct-
ed over 11 months, it audited
thousands of pages of financial
and business records to examine
his claims, some involvingevents
nearly a decade ago. The NCAAs
four-year statute of limitations
doesnt apply when there is a pat-
tern of willful violations that con-
tinues into the past four years.
A person familiar with the sit-
uation said much of Shapiros ac-
cess to Hurricane programs in re-
cent years was approved by Ho-
cutt, who is now at Texas Tech.
The person spoke to The Associ-
ated Press on condition of ano-
nymitybecause of the ongoingin-
vestigation.
Hocutt, the person said, al-
lowed Shapiro on the sideline be-
fore football games at times dur-
ing the 2008 season, plus invited
himto select gatherings reserved
for the athletic departments big-
gest donors.
Thats what Kirby did, the
person said. His No. 1job was to
raise money and this Nevin Sha-
piro guy was one of the few peo-
ple Kirby could get to write
checks.
In a statement, Hocutt said
Shapiro was treated like other
members of the Hurricane Club.
While I was athletics director,
the benefits and experiences Mr.
Shapiro received were consistent
with those provided to others at
his membership level, Hocutt
said. I never personally ap-
proved any special access for Mr.
Shapiro to university athletics
events or programs.
Larry Coker, who coached the
Hurricanes in 2001-06, said he
had not been contacted by the
NCAA or Miami about the inves-
tigation. Any coach or athletic di-
rection involved in the case who
now works at another school
could be subject to NCAA puni-
shment if found guilty of a viola-
tion.
The AP interviewed more than
a dozen former Hurricanes, and
their reactions ranged from de-
nials of involvement to declining
comment. New York Giants safe-
ty Antrel Rolle declined to dis-
cuss the allegations but said Sha-
piro is mad about being in prison
and directing his emotions at the
Hurricanes.
There is a lot of drama going
on, and its all caused by one guy,
one angry guy, Rolle said. Obvi-
ously he is on a rampage to cause
havoc.
Miami was once among the
best and most intimidating
teams incollegefootball, but Sha-
pirowas aroundthe programdur-
ing a period of only modest suc-
cess for the Hurricanes, who won
their most recent national cham-
pionship in 2001.
Imnot upset about the Ualle-
gations, tweeted Cleveland Indi-
ans closer Chris Perez, who
pitched at Miami. Im mad we
didnt win anything while we
were cheating.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Durhams Russ Canzler, a Hazleton native, takes his lead after
reaching on an Alex Rodriguez error on Wednesday. He later added
a double and an RBI.
Its hard to blame Al Golden if
he isnt thinking clearly. His
claim that taking over the Tem-
ple football program prepared
me for the avalanche of sludge
that is about to engulf him at
the University of Miami is some-
where between denial and out-
right madness.
Golden also told reporters
Wednesday morning that he
hadnt yet read the devastating
Yahoo.com report, which was
based on 11 months of cooper-
ation with Nevin Shapiro
who is to college football boost-
ers what Dr. Hannibal Lecter
was to psychiatrists. Extending
that analogy, the Miami football
program is the census taker
whose liver went well with
some fava beans and a nice
chianti.
Shapiro, in prison for running
a $930 million Ponzi scheme,
detailed a decade-long tram-
pling of the NCAA rulebook. He
said he gave gifts and money to
more than 70 Miami football
players, did favors for coaches,
and was well known to the uni-
versity president, administra-
tors, and coaches. At a time
when the NCAA seems to be
getting serious about enforce-
ment, Miami football could be
looking at the so-called death
penalty a one-year abolish-
ment of the program along
with myriad other penalties.
On top of that, the NCAAs
official investigation could last
as long as Goldens tenure. The
investigation of the Southern
Cal program, which found
wrongdoing and a lack of in-
stitutional oversight regarding
payments made to running back
Reggie Bush a Heisman
Trophy winner lasted four
years. So Golden could be
forced to coach and recruit with
suspensions and postseason
bans and the loss of scholarships
hanging over him.
That hardly compares to
Temples low Academic Pro-
gress Rate, which cost the pro-
gram scholarships before Gold-
en arrived. He quickly improved
the APR before Temple was hit
with other sanctions.
Temple had some water in the
engine room when Golden got
there. Miami has a huge new
tear in its hull. Its going to the
bottom.
It is a terrible situation, and
Golden is an innocent victim.
He would be well within his
rights to ask the university to
release him from his contract.
Either the athletic director and
other officials knew about Sha-
piro when Golden was hired in
December or they are complete
imbeciles. They are not com-
plete imbeciles.
If they knew this was perco-
lating, Golden told reporters in
Coral Gables, Fla., then I be-
lieve they did have a responsib-
ility to tell me.
But he also said he planned to
stick it out and make a go of
things at Miami. Whether that
was meant mostly for the ears of
his 24 incoming recruits, or
whether he will change his
mind when the full scope of this
morass becomes clear, will
become clearer with time.
The truly disturbing part of
the Shapiro story is not that one
man, who happens to bear a
creepy resemblance to Lenny
Dykstra, was able to run amok
at one high-profile college foot-
ball program. It is the peek that
this story, hard on the heels of
the Ohio State scandal that cost
Jim Tressel his job, gives us into
the way big-time college pro-
grams really operate.
Its everywhere, Shapiro
told Yahoo.com, referring to his
own actions and worse. Every-
where that it matters. Most
people cant even understand
it.
Shapiro was allowed on the
sideline or in the press box for
Miami games. A players lounge
was named after him. He was
photographed with university
president Donna Shalala and a
number of coaches. Meanwhile,
he was giving players cash and
entertaining them at his man-
sion, in strip clubs, on a yacht
and in the VIP section of night-
clubs.
The list of his benefactors
includes a dozen current Miami
players, plus a bunch of current
and former NFL players: Vince
Wilfork, the late Sean Taylor,
Devin Hester, dozens more.
Shapiros story, which he
corroborates with photos and
phone records and receipts,
points out both the need for and
the futility of paying college
athletes. NCAA rules make
players much more vulnerable
to a deep-pocketed sycophant
such as Shapiro. But its just as
clear that a modest stipend isnt
going to deter starry-eyed
young jocks from partying like
rock stars or taking $50,000
bundles of cash.
Thats the larger issue. The
more immediate one has a ter-
rific guy, Golden, dealing with a
terrible situation he did nothing
to bring about. Miami is fortu-
nate to have someone as honor-
able as Golden handling this
impossible situation.
You can sit there and feel
sorry for yourself and say you
got blindsided, Golden told
reporters, but at the end of the
day we have a chance to be a
really good football team and a
chance to be a really great pro-
gram.
The shame of it is that Gold-
en did a stellar job at Temple
and earned this career-making
opportunity with a storied pro-
gram. He just couldnt have
known what a disgusting story
the Miami program would turn
out to be.

since the attack.
Leonard Ellerbe, CEOof May-

As in most civil cases this is

An educated observer would
examinethebackgroundof these
individuals and immediately
question their credibility, he
said.
Alawyer for Harris, who is ac-
cused of firing shots in the inci-
dent, was not immediately avail-
able for comment. Harris has
pleaded not guilty to criminal
charges in the shooting. His trial
is scheduledfor February.
Lawyers for Quincey Williams
and Damien Bland said in the
lawsuit filed Tuesday that they
want Mayweather andhisassoci-
ates to stop contacting their cli-

of money for damages.
Robert Adams and Robert
Eglet, the lawyers who filed the
suit, were not available Wednes-

SOUTHWILLIAMSPORTMonta-
na had never had a team in the Little
League World Series,. So, a couple
weeks ago, 12-year-old Andy Maehl
asked his Billings coach if their team
was ready to make history.
He kept asking me the question ev-
ery five minutes, coach Mark Kieck-
busch said Wednesday in recalling the
talk with the catcher at the regional
tournament. I thought, What are you,
crazy?
Prophetic? Yes.
Crazy? Not so much.
The mashers from Montana have
made it all the way to South William-
sport, joining 15 other teams hoping to
make the triumphant trot around the
Lamade Stadium warning track with a
World Series championship banner.
First pitch is today, with Taiwan and
Mexico leading off a four-game slate.
Just tothink, in65 years, Maehl said
Wednesday after batting practice,
were the only team from Montana to
do that.
Kieckbusch watched nearby, his shirt
soaked in sweat after an hour watching
swings in the cage.
To go down as the first Montana
team ever, he said, thats really cool.
The 65th World Series is peppered
with other intriguing story lines, like
the hometown favorites from Clinton
County, Pa., who stormed through the
Mid-Atlantic region to claim the final
berth in the series on Monday. The
Keystone Little League boys went
straight from the regional final in Bris-
tol, Conn., totheLittleLeaguecomplex,
even though their homes are just about
30 miles southwest in rural central
Pennsylvania.
So, it comes as no surprise to expect a
big crowd Friday when Pennsylvania
plays LaGrange, Ky., under the lights at
Lamade Stadium.
This is really exciting because Ive
been wanting to get here my whole life
andplayonthis field, Pennsylvaniaout-
fielder Mike Keibler, 12, said. Ive
watched the kids that were on there and
it looked like a really cool field.
But the pressure isnt affecting Kei-
bler or the rest of his teammates. These
are mainly 11- and12-year-olds, after all.
The best thing about the dorms is
the games, he said. There are video
games, theres ping pong, and my favor-
ite air hockey.
The WorldSeries format was tweaked
slightly this year, with an extra day
tacked on to make it an11-day marathon
to championship Sunday on Aug. 28.
The change will help give teams added
time to develop a pitching strategy as a
result of Little Leagues strict pitch
count rules.
Also, the eight-teamU.S. and interna-
tional brackets are no longer each divid-
edintotwofour-teamdivisions. Double-
elimination rules remain until the tour-
naments final weekend.
Wednesday, though, was all about get-
ting the last few swings in the batting
cage. Thefields wereabuzz withactivity
on a picture-perfect summer afternoon
as the familiar ping of metal bats res-
onated.
On the Mexico team, shortstop-pitch-
er Carlos Arellano seemed far from
home on his 13th birthday. Keep in
mind, while most participants are pre-
teens, 13-year-olds are eligible solongas
they were 12 on April 30.
The team had a chocolate birthday
cake for Arellano and teammate Ulises
Rodriguez, who turns 13 on Thursday.
Arellanos favorite player? His father,
who goes by the same name. He played
in the minors. But the younger Arellano
wants just one gift this year ... and its
not from his father.
Win the first game tomorrow, he
said.
AteamfromTokyowonthe 2010title,
snapping a five-year winning streak for
U.S. teams. Japan this year is represent-
ed by Hamamatsu City, which along
with Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Mon-
tana are among11squads this year from
local leagues making their inaugural ap-
pearances.
On the other end is Dhahran, Saudi
Arabia, a World Series regular with 12
straight appearances though this
years trip came by virtue of a disqual-
ification. A team from Uganda had ini-
tially won the Middle East & Africa re-
gion, but was denied visas by U.S. con-
sular officers after theStateDepartment
said there were inconsistencies with
players ages and birth dates.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Plaxico Burress was
back on the practice field with a pass coming his
way.
Hereachedout andgrabbedit for ashort gain, his
first catch in teamdrills since signing with the New
York Jets.
And, boy, did it feel good.
I think it went pretty well, Burress said
Wednesday. It feels like football and it felt great. It
was pretty much everything I expected to feel, just
to get back out there andkindof get ina groove and
participate in every drill.
Burress participated in about a dozen teamdrills
after being limited by a sprained left ankle. He also
made a nice one-handed grab along the sideline
during 1-on-1 drills.
I just feel from here, Ill try to increase the reps
day in and day out, he said, and just keep putting
the practices together, and just see what happens.
Coach Rex Ryan was so happy with what he saw,
he declared Burress will see action in the teams
preseason game against Cincinnati on Sunday.
I think hell be in there, Ryan said. Without
question, I think hell be in there.
Burress worked with the first-team offense
Wednesday during 11-on-11 drills, his first signifi-
cant action since signing with the Jets on July 31
after serving 20 months in prison on a gun charge.
I dont see why I shouldnt be full go (Sunday),
Burress said.
The wide receiver rolled the ankle while running
routes withSantonioHolmes twoweeks ago. It was
believed to be a minor injury, but the swelling was
slow to subside and the Jets sent Burress for an
MRI exam, whichrevealedwhat he calleda classic
tweak, a classic sprain.
The Jets doctors recommended Burress not fly
with the team to Houston for its preseason opener
because the altitude could affect the swelling. So,
he stayed back and had treatment on the ankle to
ensure he could take the field Wednesday.
I barely was able to watch the game with all the
treatment they were giving me, he said. I mean,
they had a notebook schedule. I was like, This is
pretty intense. I was getting treatment like every
hour, every two hours. ... Im walking around here
half the day with a frozen ankle.
Before Wednesdays practice, Burress had only
participated in four teamdrills, and none since last
Monday. So, getting through this session was a sig-
nificant step forward.
I didnt feel any limitations as far as me running
and cutting, he said. I was doing just about every-
thing that my mind was telling me to do, just react
andnot eventhinkingabout the ankle. I was getting
inandout of my breaks pretty good, the times that I
hadtomake a play onthe football I did. Like I said, I
felt pretty normal.
Ryan was a bit disappointed that Burress, cov-
ered most of the afternoon by Darrelle Revis or An-
tonio Cromartie, had only one pass thrown his way
by Mark Sanchez.
Were going to try to throw it to the guy whos
open, Ryansaid. Downanddistance mightve had
something to do with it, but I was like you guys: If
hes out there, lets throw it to him.
Burress wasnt complaining, though. After all, he
has waited a long time for this.
Itll come, he said. This is only my first day.
You cant expect to see too much.

PITTSBURGH Steelers cornerback
William Gay understands the buzz sur-
rounding the Philadelphia Eagles. Turn
the frenzied NFL free agency period into
your ownhigh-endshoppingspreetheway
the Eagles did, and its hard not to notice.
Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Aso-
mugha. Quarterback Vince Young. Defen-
sive linemen Cullen Jenkins and Jason Ba-
bin. Running back Ronnie Brown. The list
of impact signings goes on and on.
Impressive? Yes. A guarantee the Ea-
gles, who visit the defending AFC cham-
pions on Thursday, will play into Febru-
ary?
Hardly.
When have you known talk to win a Su-
per Bowl? Gay said.
Youcant worryabout
that. Youve got to let
the media do all that.
Not that the Eagles
havent done a little
chirping of their own.
Young dubbed Phila-
delphia the Dream
Team, a moniker
Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark politely
called interesting even if its just August.
Youre talking about one of the best col-
lege players of all time, a No. 3 draft pick
and hes the backup, Clark said. Look at
the talent they have lined up, its all over
the place. Those guys feel that way and if
Vince wanted to say it he has every right.
Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has remained
quiet, mainly because there hasnt been
much to talk about following a lethargic
16-7 loss to Washington last Friday in the
preseason opener.
The defense couldnt get off the field
giving up 452 yards of total offense and
the offense couldnt stay on it convert-
ing just 2 of 11 third downs.
That was a wake-up call and its time to
start playing football, defensive tackle
Chris Hoke said. I dont think anybody
was happy withthe way they playedonFri-
day night.
Asked whether hes looking for more in-
tensity or execution against Philadelphia,
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said all of the
above.
The returnof defensive stars James Har-
rison and Troy Polamalu should help. The
duo sat out the preseason opener for pre-
cautionary reasons. Theyre fresh and
ready to test themselves at full speed.
I feel great now, said Polamalu, who
spent the end of last season nursing a nag-
gingAchilles injury. Coachhas givenmea
lot of rest andallowedme todothe things I
need to do to get healthy.
Polamaluandthe rest of the starters will
play between 20-25 snaps, which should
give the Steelers plenty of face time with
Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick.
Though Pittsburgh led the NFL in scor-
ing defense and was second in total de-
fense a year ago, the Steelers had trouble
when opponents spread the field.
Green Bay did it with ease in the Super
Bowl, and the Eagles could be just as
tricky to defend now that wide receiver
DeSean Jackson is back in the fold after
ending his holdout.
Theyve got great skill offensively,
Tomlin said. Theyre a great football
team.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
When Mathias Kiwanuka was talk-
ing to the New York Giants during
free agency, money wasnt the only
thing on his mind.
Just as important was his posi-
tion.
The defensive end, who was turn-
ed into a linebacker and then back
into a defensive end and then back
to linebacker, wanted a little perma-
nence.
The Giants gave it to him.
Kiwanuka played three games as
a linebacker last season before suf-
fering a season-ending neck injury,
and thats exactly where he is go-
ing to play again this year. There
is no more shuttling between line-
backer and D-line meetings. When
Kiwi goes to class, it is with the
linebackers.
I am a linebacker, Kiwanuka
said Wednesday. I always keep
those pass rush skills, those defen-
sive line skills. I have been doing
that for years. Thats not an issue.
When it comes down to it mental-
ly, and in terms of all that boring
stuff, I am linebacker.
Kiwanuka got his first taste of
game action in more than 10
months last weekend when the
Giants opened the preseason
against the Panthers in Carolina.
Playing about a quarter, he had one
tackle.
Ive been through this before,
unfortunately, said Kiwanuka, who
missed the final six regular-season
games and the Super Bowl run in
2007 with a broken leg.
The first game back from an
injury, whether its preseason or
not, its always good to get out
there. The adrenaline is going to
be pumping regardless of the cir-
cumstances. I felt good coming out
of the game, and I feel good going
forward.
At the end of last season, Kiwa-
nuka wasnt very clear.
He suffered a herniated cervical
disk three weeks into the season,
and not only was his future with
the Giants uncertain because of
free agency, so was his injury-
plagued career.
Once the new collective bargain-
ing agreement was reached, Kiwa-
nuka went on the market and most
teams seemed interested in signing
the five-year vet as a linebacker.
Kiwanuka said the hard part was
evaluating the teams that wanted
him, trying to see where he fit in.
Money does factor into it, but
you have to take the best opportu-
nity to get out there and perform,
said Kiwanuka, who settled for a
two-year deal to stay in New York
that was worth $8.6 million.
You can go out and sign a con-
tract for a team where you dont
fit. But I was trying to find the
best all-around team.
Kiwanuka felt the Giants offered
that, especially with Perry Fewell
returning as the defensive coor-
dinator.
Maybin signs, practices with Jets
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Aaron
Maybin wasted no time getting on
the field with his new team.
The former Buffalo Bills first-
round pick agreed to terms with
the New York Jets on Wednesday
morning, passed his physical a few
hours later and signed a one-year
deal all in time to practice in
the afternoon.
I didnt have a chance to open
the playbook, he said with a
laugh. But Ive always been pretty
good at learning as I go along. We
did a little bit of that today, but Ill
be knee-deep in the playbook to-
night.
The once-promising linebacker
was waived by Buffalo on Monday
after two disappointing seasons in
which he had no sacks. The Jets
will give Maybin the opportunity to
fulfill the potential he showed when
the Bills made him the 11th overall
pick in 2009 out of Penn State.
He has no clue and doesnt
know a single defense, but it was
like, Hey, just turn that corner,
and he did that pretty good, coach
Rex Ryan said of Maybin jumping
right into things. That was great.
Maybin nicknamed Maybe
by some disappointed Bills fans
struggled to keep his weight up
while with Buffalo and appeared in
only 11 games last season. He was
inactive for five straight games, and
has been labeled one of the Bills
biggest draft busts.
At the end of the day, he said,
I never went out to prove nay-
sayers wrong or anything like that.
NFL fines Lions Suh $20K
ALLEN PARK, Mich. Ndamu-
kong Suh has been fined a third
time for roughing up three different
quarterbacks in less than a year.
The Detroit Lions defensive tack-
le doesnt plan to change his game.
Not by any means, he said
Wednesday after he was fined
$20,000 by the NFL for a hit on
Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton
last week. He didnt like it much,
tweeting: $20,000REALLY???!!!
The former Nebraska star said he
plans to appeal the fine.
Who wouldnt? Suh asked.
The reigning NFL Defensive Roo-
kie of the Year grabbed Dalton and
threw the rookie to the turf after
he had gotten rid of the ball late
in the first quarter of Fridays pre-
season game. Suh was flagged for
unnecessary roughness.
Driver not ready to retire
GREEN BAY, Wis. Donald
Driver doesnt think the end of his
career is near. Hes 36, and still
wants to play until hes 40.
Still, the veteran Green Bay Pack-
ers receiver is close enough to
retirement to start thinking about
how his time with the team might
end. And after watching close
friend Brett Favre go through an
ugly divorce with the Packers in
2008, Driver doesnt see himself
going down the same path.
Driver has two years left on his
contract. His six-year streak of
1,000-plus yards receiving ended
last season, but coaches say hes
showing no signs of a drop-off in
camp this year. Driver is 41 yards
shy of James Loftons franchise-
record 9,656 career yards receiving.
Newton starting for Panthers
SPARTANBURG, S.C. Top
draft pick Cam Newton will start at
quarterback for the Carolina Pan-
thers in their second preseason
game Friday.
Coach Ron Rivera said Wednes-
day that Newton would take the
first snap against the Miami Dol-
phins as part of the plan to al-
ternate the rookie and Jimmy Clau-
sen, who started last week against
the New York Giants.
Rivera said the first-team offense
would play about one half and
Clausen would get reps with the
first-stringers to keep the quarter-
back competition even.
Rivera said he would likely an-
nounce next week which player will
start in the opener Sept. 11 against
Arizona.
Bengals Green out with injury
GEORGETOWN, Ky. Bengals
rookie receiver A.J. Green missed
most of practice Wednesday after
he injured his right leg running a
pass route.
The first-round draft pick was
hurt early in practice and had a
bag of ice applied to the back of
the leg.
He went to the locker room and
returned with a wrap on the right
knee.
Coach Marvin Lewis said Green
was kicked near the knee, but the
injury isnt considered serious.
Lewis expected Green to return
to practice today. Green also came
up limping during practice Tuesday,
but wasnt out of action for very
long.
Kolb comfortable with Cardinals
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. New quar-
terback Kevin Kolb says he is final-
ly comfortable with the Arizona
Cardinals offense and looks forward
to putting his newfound knowledge
to a stern test when the team trav-
els to Green Bay to face the NFL
champion Packers.
Kolb says it has been difficult to
unlearn the things he knew as a
member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
But after two weeks of training
camp the Cardinals have installed
their core offense and he under-
stands what his role should be
with his new team.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt says Kolb
and the rest of the first unit most
likely will play into the second
quarter of Friday nights game.
Kolb is the critical addition to a
team looking to rebound from a
5-11 season.

Maclin moves past
cancer scare
PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia
Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin,
who still hasnt practiced yet, has
been cleared to return to the team
after a cancer scare, trainer Rick
Burkholder said Wednesday.
Burkholder
said, barring a
setback, Maclin
will return to
practice within 10
days and should
be able to play in
the Sept. 11 opener
at St. Louis.
Burkholder said
Maclin began
experiencing symptoms night
sweats, fever, loss of weight, loss of
appetite in March, synonymous with
lymphoma, a form of cancer. But five
months of testing to determine the
cause were inconclusive.
Burkholder said in a conference call
from Pittsburgh, where the Eagles
face the Steelers in a preseason game
Thursday, that Maclins symptoms
disappeared at some point before late
July. He said the cause of the
symptoms remains vague.
Were confident that the
life-threatening stuff is out of the
mix, Burkholder said. Right now,
were going to look at him as having
an inflammatory condition that
caused him to have the symptoms
and the abnormal blood studies.
Maclin underwent a laparoscopy
procedure last Thursday so doctors
could get a clearer biopsy than
previous tests had provided. The
results came back Wednesday, and
were negative.
Maclin, 23, caught 70 passes for
964 yards and 10 touchdowns last
year.

GREENSBORO, N.C. The
Wyndham Championship has at-
tracted one of its best fields, part-
ly out of desperation from some
players.
The final tournament before
the start of the PGA Tours play-
offs offers one last chance for
players to climb the FedEx Cup
rankings and claim a spot in The
Barclays.
Several could use a big week in
North Carolina. Ernie Els, who
enters at No. 126, wrote on his of-
ficial website that this is last-
chance saloon. Padraig Harring-
ton is No. 130, four points behind
No. 125 Camillo Villegas in the
race to make golfs postseason.
I hope that Ill be the fairy tale
story, but any of us guys who are
slightly outside the FedEx Cup at
the moment, if we qualify, we can
go on and win the playoffs, Har-
rington said Wednesday. Thats
the whole idea ... that anybody
who is in the top125 has a chance
of winning it outright and being
the best player of the year. So, if
myself or Ernie or any of the guys
actuallymake it in, andwe hit our
A-games for four weeks, all of a
sudden, we canbe the FedExCup
champion.
Meanwhile, No. 106 Retief
Goosen and reigning playoff
champion Jim Furyk want to so-
lidify their spots inthe standings.
Theyre all a big part of what
tournament director Mark Brazil
has called the events best field in
20 years.
The playoffs are obviously
playing a role in the fields of tour-
naments, and this is a perfect ex-
ample, Bill Haas said. I think
its great to see. It shows the com-
petitive nature of all the players
out here. Everybody wants to
play in these playoff events, and
give themselves a shot, because
anything can happen.
Harrington will tee off Thurs-
day morning as part of one of the
tournaments more intriguing
groups. Hell be joined by two
other big names who also are
looking to play their way into the
postseasonNo. 142JustinLeo-
nard and No. 147 Paul Casey. The
threesome has combined to win
four majors.
Harrington had a family vaca-
tion in the Bahamas scheduled,
but when he wound up on the
playoff bubble, his wife urged
him to sign up for Greensboro.
If I do qualify, Im really look-
ing forward to the fact that I can
be the underdog and come
through and win it outright,
Harringtonsaid. I suppose thats
what the FedEx Cup was de-
signed for.
Jason Dufner certainly could
use a strong showing at the
par-70 Sedgefield Country Club
to move forward after his late
five-shot lead evaporated at the
PGA Championship last week
and Keegan Bradley beat himin a
three-hole playoff.
I think itll make me a better
player, said Dufner, who at No.
25 doesnt have to worry about
making the playoff field. I feel
like theres been more guys who
have lost leads or lost tourna-
ments in that situation and then
have had greater finishes in the
future than guys that have lost
leads and you never heard of
again.
Two local favorites Haas
and Webb Simpson, who played
their college golf at nearby Wake
Forest are safely in the playoff
field. Simpson enters 12th on the
points list with Haas three spots
behind him.
Its about the time of year
whenthe FedExCupplayoff buzz
starts going, andI thinkweve got
a bunch of good names here be-
cause of it, Simpson said. I
thinkIminapositionwhereI can
make a nice run at the playoffs
and try to win. This week, I dont
think I can really hurt myself. I
can definitely help myself with a
good week.
For Haas, no trip to Greensbo-
rois complete without a returnto
his college town. The 29-year-old
said hell make the 30-minute
drive to Winston-Salem at least
once to take a spin around cam-
pus and just feel like Im young-
er.

Wyndham offers last chance
By JOEDY McCREARY
AP Sports Writer
Couples: Woods needs to play to make team
HARRISON, N.Y. U.S. captain Fred Couples says Tiger Woods is
going to have to play more tournaments before he gets to Australia
to be part of the Presidents Cup team.
Woods missed the cut in the PGA Championship and did not
qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. That means he is ineligible for
any PGA Tour competition for the next six weeks.
Couples announces his two captains picks on Sept. 26 after the
Tour Championship, and he has said he intends to take Woods. But
he said Wednesday at the Senior Players Championship that Woods
just cant show up in Australia a week before the matches.
Woods could still add Fall Series event or play other tours around
the world. Couples says he is talking to Woods agent about options.
MASON, Ohio Rafael Nadal
is getting ready to head back to
New York with fond memories
for the first time.
The Spaniard won the U.S.
Open last year, becoming only
the seventh player to win all four
Grand Slam events. The U.S.
Open was the most elusive for
Nadal, who was so overcome
with emotion after beating No-
vakDjokovic that he collapsedon
the hard, blue court and lay face
downwhile the emotions washed
over him.
In an interviewwith The Asso-
ciated Press on Wednesday, Na-
dal said that moment and
many others leading up to his
first triumph at Flushing Mead-
ows have stuck with him as
the defending champion.
When you win in a place on
the tournament and you come
back to that (place), you always
have special memories for there,
Nadal said. I spent very impor-
tant moments for my career
there, and very emotional mo-
ments.
For sure, its a little bit more
special. But youre talking about
the emotions. Talking about the
play is different.
The 25-year-old Spaniard ap-
pears to be ingoodshape, but has
had a fewinjuries this season. He
tore a muscle in his right leg dur-
ing a quarterfinal loss at the Aus-
tralian Open and hurt his left foot
at Wimbledon before losing the
title match to Djokovic.
Andthere was a strange, minor
one when he arrived in Cincinna-
ti for the Western & Southern
Open, a tune-up tournament for
the U.S. Open. The left-handed
Nadal went to a restaurant,
grabbed a plate with his right
handandburnedthetips of his in-
dex and middle finger.
He uses his right hand to stea-
dy his backhand, sothe fingers
wrapped for protection come
into play.
His bigger concern is getting
enough matches to get back into
top competitive shape for the
U.S. Open, which starts on Aug.
29. He had to have the injured
foot numbed for his matches at
Wimbledon, then took time off to
let it heal. He beat Julien Benne-
teau 6-4, 7-5 on Tuesday.
I had a fantastic season, said
Nadal, currently ranked No. 2 be-
hind Djokovic. I probably played
more finals than ever. The prob-
lem is I lost five. The season has
been really good.
I am fine. I didnt practice as
much as I would love to do before
the American hard-court season.
I hadthe foot probleminWimble-
don, so I had to stop for almost a
month. I didnt practice enough. I
am trying my best every day.
He knows hell get more atten-
tion when he shows up in New
York this time. That winning mo-
ment surelywill get replayeda lot
in the buildup.
You win a Grand Slam, the
emotions are very high, Nadal
said. I wontheU.S. Open. This is
the tournament that I see the
most difficult one for me to win. I
never played well there before
last year. I try to find different so-
lutions to play well there.
The personal satisfaction for
me towinthere finally, the last
Grand Slamfor me, I won all four
Grand Slams. For me, is more
than a dream and something I
never thought Id do.

Chip Cutter, Elizabeth Gramling AP SOURCE: FactSet
Investors should consider buying
Google, financial analysts say, but not
necessarily because of its planned $12.5
billion purchase of Motorola Mobility.
The deal will give Google access to
Motorolas more than 17,000 patents on
phone technology. The patents should
help Google defend its Android mobile
operating system against lawsuits from
rivals like Apple and Microsoft. But its
unclear how the acquisition will boost
Googles earnings over the long run, says
Morningstar analyst Rick Summer.
Summer and other analysts like
Google because it remains the Internet
search leader. Google has about 65 per-
cent of the market in the U.S. No. 2 is
Yahoo. It has 16 percent, according to
comScore.
Googles earnings rose 36 percent in
the second quarter as ad revenue rose
32 percent. Advertising makes up 97 per-
cent of Googles revenue. Earnings are
expected to rise 18 percent in 2012.
Google is trading at 13.5 times what
its expected to earn next year. That com-
pares with 11.1 for the S&P 500. But the
stock is down 10.2 percent this year
like other tech stocks, it has fallen more
than the overall market. The S&P 500 is
down 5 percent. The 38 analysts who
follow Google believe it could rise 36 per-
cent over the next 12 months. Their aver-
age price forecast for the stock: $722.53.
Google has outperformed the S&P 500 over the
past three years, although it has fallen 9 percent
this year. Many analysts say it now looks cheap.
Why Google is a buy
Price change
Googles
acquisition of
Motorola Mobility
is the largest in
its history. A look
at other major
deals:
ITA Software (2010)
The $676 million
purchase of this
airline fare tracker
is part of Googles
efforts to be a big
player in the online
travel market.
DoubleClick (2008)
Google bought the
provider of online
advertising
services for $3.2
billion to provide
more multimedia
ads alongside its
search links.
YouTube (2006)
The $1.76 billion
acquisition of the
video sharing site
helped make
YouTube even
more of a destina-
tion for video.

A cold front is
approaching
from the west,
and it will pro-
duce clouds and
rain showers this
afternoon and
evening. If you
have outdoor
plans today,
keep an eye on
the sky. The
showers will be
hit and miss, and
I dont suspect
any washouts,
but I would
expect some rain
delays. The high
today will be 85
degrees. The
cold front will
stall over east-
ern Pennsylvania
tonight and
tomorrow, pro-
ducing more rain
showers Friday
afternoon and
evening. Bottom
line, keep the
umbrella and
rain gear handy
if you work out-
side.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of a
frontal boundary over the Plains. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible with this sys-
tem. Scattered thunderstorms will also be possible from the Northeast into the Appalachians with
another storm system. Afternoon thunderstorms will develop over much of the Florida Peninsula.

EWYORKIts not all jeans, sneakers and sweat-
shirts packedinthose duffel bags headedto college
campuses in the coming weeks. There might also
be a ripped-from-the-runway look from Zara or H&M that
mimics Celine or Chloe, andmaybe just maybe a bona-
fide Diane vonFurstenberg dress or Alexander Wang jacket.
Dr. Martens are a must-have.
It will all get worn, with the pos-
sible exception of the sweatshirt,
says Amy Levin, founder of the blog
site CollegeFashionista.com. Col-
lege students love tochange uptheir
look. ... They can do it by translating
the most up-to-date looks for their
lifestyles and budgets.
For some students, Levinsays, go-
ing to class is a reason to get dressed
up.
CollegeFashionista has regular
contributors from more than 200
campuses chronicling clothes worn
by their peers. Onthis day, for exam-
ple, the site features a student and
her Michael Kors bag and animal-
print pumps at the Universityof Tex-
as, and a Boston University student
in a strapless sundress.
The fact that todays students are
so plugged in certainly helps in stay-
ing so stylish. They can look at pho-
tos from designer collections and
red carpets around the world in real
time and change their look in the
time it takes to dig through their
drawers and dirty laundry piles.
A shift in style doesnt take long
for this crowd to digest. They are
hungry for the next big thing and
usuallyarent marriedtoa particular
look. Youll see inthe U.S. that cam-
puses in major cities are usually
ahead of trends, observes Levin,
and Londoners and students in Aus-
tralia are even more fashion-for-
ward.
(Levin says her alma matter, Indi-
ana University, is more tra-
ditional and casual, but
not by much.)
That brings us back
again to the college
sweatshirt stu-
dents parents
still buy when the
acceptance letter
first arrives.
News flash, ac-
cording to Le-
vin: They are
too generic.
They might
put their
school name
on a shirt, but
theyve done it
in some creative
way themselves.
Everyone wants to
be individual no
one wants to dress
Modern-day campus fashion
sports a degree of sophistication
By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer
NEWYORKWhenkids are old
enough to understand, parents have
The Talk, about birds and bees and
how poof babies are born
when two people love each other.
When its time for kids to head off
to college, The Talk II may go some-
thing like this: DONT HAVE UN-
PROTECTED SEX!
Untethering your teens for col-
lege often includes rapid-fire decla-
rations on birth control, drug use,
date rape and binge drinking.
Squeezed out of the conversation
may be equally important topics
that dont bubble tothe surface until
after the start of freshman year.
That could mean, for kids who
have turned 18, an explanation of
waivers they must sign ahead of
time if they want to grant parents a
say in their health care or allow
them to see their grades.
It could mean advice on dealing
with roommates after a lifetime of
space to themselves, or even mak-
ing sure they know how to set an
alarmsotheycanget themselves up.
Its a tough time to have these
conversations when the wheels are
falling off, said Houston Doughar-
ty, vicepresident of student affairs at
Grinnell College in Iowa. We want
families to have these conversations
before they come to school.
Glossing over issues wont be
enoughinsome cases, he warns. For
example, the federal Family Educa-
tional Rights and Privacy Act, or
FERPA, prohibits schools from re-
leasing grades and other education-
al records without a students writ-
ten permission.
Talking about the expected level
of disclosure before the semester
starts helps toavoidunwelcomesur-
prises later, Dougharty said.
Things like, If youexpect toseemy
grades, at what point do you expect
to see them? Are you going to trust
me to show you at winter break or
summer break?
Parents used to texting high
schoolers half a dozentimes a dayor
more may be alarmed when their
kids stop responding once they land
at college, sothepre-collegetalkcan
cover: Will it be text, e-mail or
phone calls? Will it be once a day,
twice a weekor everyfirst Sundayof
the month?
Dougharty also suggests going
over a schools student code of con-
duct in detail, including what types
Time for the pre-college talk
By LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press
Have a test to take? Throw on
some sweatpants.
Grabbing lunch with a friend?
Throw on some sweatpants.
Class presentation? Well OK,
maybe this time you can make an
exception and put on some jeans,
or even dress pants, depending on
how serious it is.
Comfort, not high fashion, is the
consensus for local college stu-
dents, many of whom just dont
want to be bothered with getting
dressed in the morning.
College is really when you start
your own schedule, Pat Olenik, 21,
of Wilkes-Barre said. Adjusting to
waking yourself up for class in the
beginning is hard enough. Ad-
justing yourself to waking up and
putting together an actual outfit is
even worse.
Olenik prefers to wear sweats on
a daily basis.
Its not about looks, he said. I
dont think anyone really cares
what you look like in college be-
cause the whole atmosphere is very
relaxed.
Some fashionistas may point to
the fact that this is a male opinion
and some believe men, in general,
dont care as much about clothes.
In this case, though, the ladies
actually agree with Olenik.
The first week I went to school I
dressed up, like in high school,
Brandy Schweitzer, 20, of Ashley
said. Then I just
stopped. I
was more
concerned about class and getting
to class and being comfortable.
Marley Gozick, 18, of Plains
Township is an incoming freshman
without the illusions Schweitzer
once had.
Id rather be comfortable when
Im studying or trying to get my
work done, she said. Ill be wear-
ing sweatpants when I start
school.
There are other options for com-
fort that may lean more to the
stylish side of college life.
Jeans are still a staple, Chris-
tine Sewack, 21, of Moscow said. I
like to dress them up with cute tops
and flats and boots in the winter.
For some, the need for style does
change over time.
Im slowly learning that Im
going to be in the real world soon
and I probably wont get away with
wearing sweats to work, Sewack
said. Im trying to incorporate

of situations will result in a call
home. Federal law allows each
college to set those boundaries,
covering such things as alcohol
infractions when no legal or
medical issue is involved.
Dont bombard your fresh-
man-to-be with too much infor-
mation at the
last minute.
The impor-
tant thing is
to start a
healthy dis-

early,

said.

18-year-old

over how to
cope with social issues before-
hand rather than concentrate as
she did on academics and mun-

cially in light of the suicide of a
local teenager last year whom
her daughter knew.
My daughter has friends in

ent colleges and got a lot of sup-
port. Things are falling into
place now.
In Florida, Tina Koenig
wound up driving one of her
sons roommates to the ER
when he broke his foot on a Sun-
day last year and the campus
health clinic was closed. She
happened to be there helping
her son move and had no idea
wheretogofor medical help, un-
til she stumbled on a list of local
hospitals and clinics that his
housing complex had handed
out. It was throwninto a mass of
his belongings unread.
I was there to help and drive
him since the injured foot was
the right foot, but if I wasnt ...,
she said. It would be helpful for
the student to knowlocal hospi-
tals or urgent-care facilities that
accept his insurance.
Koenigs son faced a more se-
rious health issue and sought
treatment on his own at the
school clinic without getting his
parents
involved,
but the
condition
worsened
and he
wound up
needing
surgery
and mis-
sing a se-
mester of
school.
Kids
want to
be treated
like
adults
and are
led to be-
lieve they
can man-
age medi-
cal treat-
ment on their own but I dont
think its the case when theyre
that young, she said.
With another son college
bound this year, Koenigs not
sure how shell benefit from
hindsight. Engaging my high-
school senior in a conversation
about anything that doesnt in-
volve the Miami Heat and the
NBA playoffs is impossible.
Dougharty said its often sur-
prising how little new students
can do for themselves.
Every year I know of first-
year students who wake up in
the morning at college when
their mom calls, he said.
Theyve never set an alarm,
preparedtheir ownmeal andbe-
cause theyre bright kids
theyve, in essence, gotten
through high school on their
wits without having to be that
organized, he said. They
havent had to use the tools that
they then need to be fully inde-
pendent.

Emergency sirens within a 10-mile radius of the PPL
Susquehanna nuclear power plant near Berwick will sound
on Thursday, Aug. 18, at 11 a.m., as part of an annual emer-
gency preparedness test of the siren system.
No public action is required.
The sirens will sound once with a steady signal lasting three
minutes. After the sirens sound, local Emergency Alert
System radio and television stations will carry a message
about the test.
These sirens are part of a comprehensive emergency sys-
tem that would be used to help protect you and your family
in an event at the plant or for non-nuclear emergencies
such as oods, res and severe storms. The sirens alert
you to tune to a local Emergency Alert System radio station
for further information.
The information pages of your telephone book contain
instructions about what you may be asked to do in the
unlikely event of a serious emergency. It is important
to review this information
regularly with family
members so that, if
you must act, you
are prepared.
If you have
questions,

THIS IS A
alike, she says.
New York University film stu-
dent Carolyn Amurao, a Van-
couver native who just moved to
hip Williamsburg in Brooklyn,
says she doesnt pay much atten-
tion to celebrity fashion any-
more; shed rather be inspired by
what she sees on the street.
She has borrowed a few looks
from her fellow students like
wearing socks with platform
heels.
As a CollegeFashionista con-
tributor, she says she has trained
her eye to see it all. There are so
many different styles on campus.
Theres grungy and polished,
more tailored, more sporty or
hip-hop. I thinkthat inspires me.
Madisen Matney, a fashion-de-
sign student at Savannah College
of Art and Design, leans toward
vintage looks, preferring not to
shop in mainstream stores. Her
outfit each day is influenced by
mood more than magazines, she
says.
I see a lot of character in
clothes, its not just clothes to put
clothes on mood is impor-
tant, she says.
Onthis dayinher hometownof
New York, for example, she ex-
plains her loosely crocheted top
and denim shorts: I dont dress
very girlie, but Ill have those mo-
ments. When shes back at
SCAD, shell wear dresses or
jumpsuits most of the time. She
says shed like to wear high heels
but I cant really wear them to
class as an art student.
Elizabeth Taufield is fairly
dressed up during the summer
since shes an intern at the office
of designer Tory Burch, and
Burchs town-and-country style
serves as one of her influences
year-round. She usually likes to
put her own spin on things, but
there was one outfit she copied
head to toe.
Tory Burch had these camou-
flage jeans, and they were styled
with a black-and-white striped
shirt anda blackvest, Taufield, a
soon-to-be-sophomore at George
Washington University, says. I
literally wore the exact same
thing. Mysuitematesaid, Imnot
sure if those things go together,
but I eventually told her that it
was straight from the runway.
Anyway, she adds, mixing
seemingly mismatched prints is
one of her specialties. One of her
favorite recent outfits was a pea-
cock-print skirt with a striped
shirt. I try to wear what I think
looks good. Im tall 5-foot-10
and I cant wear heels, and I wear
looser pieces. Ill wear tight
jeans, but Im rarely seen in a
tight shirt.
Other thanBurch, Taufieldkeeps
tabs onwhat ProenzaSchouler and
Prada are doing. Obviously, Im
not purchasing a Prada dress, but I
like referencing it.
While shes in New York, shell
pop into luxury department store
Bergdorf Goodman, but shes
usually just shopping for ideas
and then takes those to H&M.
Cost is a factor for Amurao,
too. She says, though, she puts a
lot of planning into her clothes so
they dont look cheap.
She offers her maxi-skirt look:
You can get one at Forever 21
and you can work it into an outfit
so it doesnt look like its $8.
When I dress up, its about the
sum of all the parts. Its about
making the proportion of the
shirt work with the skirt, how
you pull your back, cute shoes. ...
I like to look like Im wearing an
outfit.
Levinsays her bloggers arepar-
ticularly proud of bargains.
Theyll boast about putting to-
gether an outfit for just a fewdol-
lars, but, for something they real-
ly love, theyll save and then
splurge, she says.
Taufield seems pleased to be a
student of style.
I dont want to say I have in-
nately good taste and style, but I
do think that style and fashion is
something you have or you dont.
You can read Vogue and all the
magazines and study the trends
religiously, but you have to know
how to apply the concepts in-
stead of just copying them, she
says. Its like critical thinking in
math or science class.

Continued from Page 1C
Criticismistoughtotakeand
getting tougher all the time for
some teens and 20-somethings.
Ive noticed increasingly as we
get students in the millennium
generation that they do have a
hard time not getting the grade
they want and reading critical
comments. They want As, said
Frances Stott, a professor at the
Erikson Institute, a nationally re-
nowned graduate school in child
development.
She attributes the trend to two
polar ways in which children are
being raised.
Parents have become increas-
ingly child-centered with values
that include self-expression. So
these kids come toschool ina new
setting, where they may not be so
used to criticism and are used to
feeling very special, she said.
Second, there are some chil-
dren fewer who have been
feeling devalued or rejected in
their family, she said. They also
have trouble accepting criticism.
Learning to accept criticism
and evaluate ones behavior em-
powers a child for life.
Kids, by 5 or 6 years old, are
ready cognitively to appreciate
that other people are observing
and evaluating them, Stott said.
Wise parents helptheir children
not withfalse soothing, distrac-
tions or praisebut withprobing
observations, Stott said. For in-
stance, you might say, I noticed
yesterday that Sally didnt want to
play with you. Do you have any
ideas of why that might be? With
someguidance, thechildmight re-
spond, It could be that Sally is
havingabadday. Or it couldbebe-
cause I didnt share.
This helps the child see that
theycoulddosomethingabout it,
Stott said. If you can own up to
your own mistakes, it ultimately
gives you more control because
you can then fix it. Its paradoxical
because its painful, even as an
adult, to think, I said something I
shouldnt have said. On the other
hand, actually knowingthat is bet-
ter than doing it again.
Aaron Cooper, a family psychol-
ogist andco-author of I Just Want
My Kids to Be Happy: Why You
Shouldnt Say It, Why You
Shouldnt Think It, What You
Should Embrace Instead (Late
August Press, $15.95), says the ti-
tle of his book partly explains why
young people are struggling with
criticism.
We cant teach our children
self-control if we dont say no and
set plenty of limits, Cooper said.
And, of course, children will be
unhappy when we do. Thats nat-
ural. So when we make our kids
happiness the most important
thing, we often abdicate that role
of disciplinarian and teacher and
corrector.
It alsoturns parents intohappi-
ness police, he said.
We are cruising around our
kids lives looking for anything
and anyone thats going to get in
the way of our childs happiness.
As soon as we spot something, we
do whatever we can to push it out
of the way of our kids.
Ordinary moments of adversity
a child not getting the lead in
the school play buildresilience.
The only way we get good at
bouncing back, Cooper said, is
havingplentyof practice fallingin-
to a pothole in life.
He cites evidence that 20-some-
things now are not as resilient as
previous generations.
One indicator is, when we talk
to Fortune 500 corporations, man-
agers complain about the young
20-something hires, that they
dont want to climb the ladder,
Cooper said. They want to have
the corner office yesterday. And if
they dont get the promotion, then
theyre going to look for another
job. It looks like the behavior of
youngpeople whogrowingupwe-
rent accustomedtofacingadversi-
ty.
Corporate managers also re-
port that the 20-somethings are
having trouble working as a mem-
ber of ateam. That was not seenin
generations past inthe same num-
bers. This is what happens whena
generation or two is raised by par-
ents who just want their kids to be
happy.
Children may need help decid-
ing whether the criticism is valid.
If the teacher writes, Talks too
much in class on the report card,
sit down and ask your child,
What do you think of the teach-
ers comment? What part of that
comment do you think is accu-
rate?
That approach to criticism,
whichImcallingthinkabout it,
Cooper said, is more important
than what they conclude.
And if the conclusion is that the
teachers criticism is unfair, that
doesnt mean you storm the cam-
pus.
Wedont want toteachour kids
that, with every little misjudg-
ment, we rally and devote time to
correcting it, Cooper said. We
want to show our children that
there are times we just let things
go.
As long as we understand with
our child what needs to be done,
wedont needtoholdtheteachers
legs to the fire. We need to teach
our children to not make them-
selves so important every single
moment of the day.
Tough enough? How parents can help their kids handle criticism
By WENDY DONAHUE
Chicago Tribune
Instead of crowing about happi-
ness, family psychologist Aaron
Cooper suggests planting seeds
that bloom into kids happiness.
Here are three:
1. Promote optimism. How? Teach
children that mistakes are the best
teacher. If they err, criticize only
the behavior. Such as: Its not OK
to hit the dog. Not Youre a bad
girl for hitting the dog.
2. Use a friendly or neutral voice
when you criticize. If we use a
sour tone, it doesnt matter what
our words are, the tone conveys
bad child. Match your tone and
words, as in, You know, Mary, its
not a good thing to hit the dog,
not a good thing at all. It hurts the
dog.
3. Ask them to critique your
behavior. Ask, What do you kids
think about how Im handling the
situation? If they criticize your
behavior, set the example of stay-
ing open by saying things like, Im
going to think about what you
said. Thank you for offering your
opinion. That shows them the
way to respond is to not run out of
the room but to give it consid-
eration.
